To fulfill this motive, a researcher has taken global powerful nations and their control in Indian Ocean region- topography. The Indian Ocean has come out as an analytical trench for business, trading, power and energy perspectives. The Indian Ocean Region (IOR) has set off as a territory for industrial advancement, discourse, quarrel, and rivalry for territorial control by global powerful nations like china, the United States, India, Australia, Japan, and United Kingdom between different marine zones like the strait of Hormuz, Red sea, Arabian Sea, Central Indian ocean, Bay of Bengal, Andaman sea and the Malacca strait. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union wanted direct access to the IOR; now, China and USA are looking for the same.
